For months it appeared that an expansion of war from Iraq into Iran was getting underway but there has been a change in plans. No, it wasn’t that the US has been flubbing up its occupation and humiliation of Iraq so bad that made the Powers That Be pull back. Not that at all. The reason to holding back on spreading war into Iran is for another reason. That reason is Afghanistan and the Pashtuns.
It seems that the war in Afghanistan is going as bad, if not worse, as the War Against the Iraqi People is. Due to geographical , social, and historical illiteracy, the US captains of War didn’t seem to realize that the Pashtuns are spread between 2 countries, and were not merely concentrated in Afghanistan. So now, the corporate political parties are calling for new blood, but this time in Pakistan!
Obama and Hillary are fighting to out do themselves on this one. Obama doesn’t want to use nuclear weapons inside the nuclear state of Pakistan, but Hillary wants to swing with all that we got. Or at least threaten to do so. So Time Out! No bombs for you yet, Iran! Wait a sec, Tancredo.
Pakistan is calling for Great Britain to pull out of Afghanistan. Musharraf and Gordon Brown now look like Larry and Curley Stooge trying to balance themselves to not get hit by Moe. What an episode! Forty million Pashtuns….
Hey, the Arabs still have some friends around in the world. But let’s face it, we can pick on Pashtuns until Hell freezes over without anybody saying anything. And nobody in the US will ever learn a word of their Pashtun language either. It will make it that much harder for reporters to ever get out of beddedness with the Pentagon if they can’t communicate with the locals, not even in Arabic! That will teach Al Jazeera…. Al, jeer us.
This new switch in alliances is already underway as the US government plans to increase the amount of nuclear tech it gives to India. Blowback, Blowback, Blow us away back! Clowns should never be given anything other than pies to battle with. Unfortunately, our ‘leaders’ got other toys. Uh, US out of Pakistan Now! The list just gets bigger and bigger.
Pakistan is crumbling into civil war. Yet another great victory for Homeland Security!
I ‘d like to link (or repeat) the L.A. Times article on an official commencement towards impeaching George Bush. Some may feel impeachment is not the solution but it’s still important to realize just how many people have indeed decided our country has had “too much”.

Update: Musharraf has told Bush no as to Bush’s offer to bomb his country in places the US thinks it would do the most good.
Bush is left with fewer and fewer options overseas. He can’t afford to invade any other countries and knows it. That leaves us in danger from a retaliatory strike or worse a pre-emptive one from some country(ies) he’s beating his chimpanzee breast about bombing back to the stone age.
Some of them are like Afghanistan, where “Great Powers go to be humiliated”, and are so dirt poor that the most profitable enterprise in the country is picking up US munitions and selling them as scrap metal.
Which is also how they’re turning into a nation of amputees.
